Linguistic fairy-tale as a method of teaching grammar at primary school

Abstract

The article is devoted to making up linguistic fairy-tales in teaching primary schoolchildren English grammar. The author shares her teacher’s experience and shows some ways how to apply the method in different grammatical aspects and inspire schoolchildren to create their own linguistic stories. First the teacher sets an example of some linguistic stories and then stimulates students to compose their own linguistic fairy-tales to perceive some grammatical aspects, like verb forms and word order in sentences. The author comes to conclusion that the method really works with primary schoolchildren because they perceive grammatical constructions more effectively with the help of fabulous linguistics stories created by themselves.
